I was wondering if someone could confirm for me what happens after someone who is sunni pakistani muslim dies…as I have been given conflicting informtion!

Do sunni muslims celebrate 40 days after death? Some people have said yes…some people have said no…this is only shiites …and its only 3 days.

sorry if this has been posted in the wrong forum…the more info the better…thanks

thanks for replies…so if they are innovations…do people carry out these? I am just interested as a member of a friends family has passed away and I want to repect any traditions in which they may follow

Thanks
